lM PROVEM ENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,078Qdated October 733, 1866.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES L. ROBARTS, of Brunswick, in the county of Glynn and State of Georgia,have invented a new and Improved Plow; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art-to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Fig. l is a side view of my invention complete; Fig. 2,a detached side view of the mold board and share pertaining to the same; Fig.

3, an inverted plan view of the invention complete.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The object of this invention is to obtain a plow of simple and cheap construction, which will be strong and durable,and have a reversible land-side, as hereinafter fully shown and described.

Arepresents the beam of the plow; B B, the handles, and O the stock, to which the moldboard D and land-side E are attached.

The mold-board is cast with ribsa a at its inner side,to insure strength, and has a share, F,secured by bolts to its front end. Theinoldboard is bolted to the stock (3, and the latter is made heavy and strong, in order to insure stiffness and durability.

E is the land-side, of V form, and secured to the side of the stock 0 by bolts 1). Either arm a of the land-side may be bolted to the side of the stock, the bolts 1) beingremoved and the land-side reversed in position, in order to adjust the upper arm in a horizontal position.

The mold-board may be of any desired form, according to the character of the work required to be done, different kinds or forms .of moldboards being employed as occasion may require.

The mold-board may be readily applied to and detached from the stock (J, only a single bolt, d,- passing through it near its upper end, the lower part of the mold-board being provided with a lug, e, to fit into a notch,f,in the lower end of the stock.

By this simple mode of construction I obtain a strong, durable, and cheap plow, and one which will admit of having any one of its parts, in case of breakage, replaced by any one using the plow, the services of a mechanic not being required for the purpose.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isp v The detachable and reversible V-shaped land-side E, secured to the stock 0, substantially as shown and described.

JAMES L. ROBARTS.
